I read down below the humorous haying stories, which I think Hugh won with the bale sitting on the phone wires, and it brought to mind this one of mine. It's not a haying story but definately a farm story. My uncles had a cow give birth out in the pasture. They spent all week trying to bring the calf to the barn. However, whenever they'd approach it, it would turn and run the other way. Along comes me on Sunday afternoon and listened to the situation. I just calmly said that I could get the calf to the barn for them. There were five of us there at the time and all the rest scoffed at me and said this they had to see since they had been trying all week with no success. Being shown where the calf was at, I just simply walked a mile circle around it so when I approached the calf I was coming in from the opposite direction. The calf spotted me and sure enough it jumped up and ran the opposite way -- right to the barn. The rest just stood there when I got back and shook their heads in disbelief. That was one of those rare days when common sense was working in my favor. I just thought it was comical that nobody had thought of that.
